All of our jewelry is 100% solid Sterling Silver (.925). When wrapping your items, DO NOT place
them directly in paper, cardboard, or cotton filled boxes, as these contain trace elements of sulfer
which will tarnish your silver jewelry. For best results, place the items in a sealed, air tight plastic
bag or jeweler's sulfer free tissue (different from standard tissue) prior to boxing and wrapping.
HOW TO CARE FOR STERLING SILVER
As with every product its life span will depend on the care you give it. These are some helpful hints
on how to look after your silver pieces.
1. To maintain the original condition of your silver jewelry, polish your pieces regularly using a
non-abrasive cleaning cloth.
2. Soap and water will also help keep your silver looking good. Remember do not dry silver off with
paper towels or tissues, always use a soft cloth.
3. When you are NOT wearing your silver jewerly, store them in a cool, dry place. Zip-lock bag and
individual cloth pouches are ideal for this and will help prevent both tarnishing or scratching by
other pieces. What causes silver to tarnish is air, and when it is not in use, the more you can keep it
sealed the less it will tarnish.
4. Never immerse your silver jewelry in chlorine, salt water, mineral springs, and suntan lotion.
Remember, some household cleaners contain chlorine bleach, these will cause discoloration and also
loosen the gemstones.
5. Avoid abrasive cleaners, detergents and commercial jewelry cleaners "dips" especially if the pieces
have an oxidized finish. Using harsh polishing cleaners will alter the finish of your jewerly and
could harm gemstones.
6. Never use an ultrasonic cleaner, ammonia or any chemical solution to clean opaque gemstones,
such as turquoise, malachite, onyx, lapis lazuli, pearls and opals. They are a porous stone and may
absorb chemicals, which build up inside the stone and cause discoloration. Simply wipe them gently
with a moist cloth until clean.
Mental note: If you can't see through the stone, don't use chemicals to clean it.
7. If your jewelry contains gemstones or pearls, do not soak in water, as this can loosen some
settings. Never use dips or abrasives cleaners on gemstones. However, you can wear silver in the
shower or while washing hands.
8. If your silver jewelry does tarnish, we recommend using a cleaning cloth,
such as the one we sell on this site, or another soft, smooth cloth.
It cleans and polishes very well. However, we do not recommend
this on silver with antiquing, as it may remove this finish.
Note: We are not responsible for mishandling of any product.
